Life and register readings

Born in Bursa in 1839/40 (AH 1255), İbrahim Atıf Efendi came from the İslam community. İbrahim Atıf began work in 1856/57, at about 17. The first annual entry, for 1856/57, names İbrahim Atıf as tahrîrat kalemi (mülazemet), with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1863/64 give a second post, in Bursa as hülefa mukayyidliği. The last entries, from 1869 to 1882, name İbrahim Atıf as kalem-i mezkûr müsevvidliği, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1872 to 1878. For 1882 to 1893 the lists have no entry. The lists give Infisal for 1863/64, 1863/64, 1871/72 and 1881/82; İstifa (resignation) for 1867/68; Azil (dismissal) for 1893/94 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1857/58 to a peak of 2,000 in 1881/82, when 92 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1893/94.
